I've got a few Mac devices around the house, and I got sick of having all my media and documents scattered around all three. So this morning I set up a network drive / NAS so I can have them in a centrally accessible drive.
This drive already had all my iTunes content on it. It's usually this easy:
- manually find a song in it's new location
- iTunes will then ask if it should use that location to automatically search for the other missing songs.
- iTunes will hum away in the background fixing all the broken links.
But for some reason this is happening:
- manually find a song in it's new location.
- iTunes asks if it should use that location to automatically search for the other missing songs.
- I click 'yes'. But iTunes then tells me the missing files can't be located. ???
I'm not sure why this is happening, but I don't have the patience to locate 2000 songs individually.
I had a run where I did manage to get about 50 songs to amend to the new location. Then I clicked a few songs just to test the lag caused from the NAS. Now I am stuck relocating songs individually.
I've obviously got some settings wrong, but I don't know what. Any suggestions?
2012 Mac Mini, 2012 MBP, both 2.6 i7 quad cores, both running High Sierra 10.13.6. And an iPhone. Modem/router is a TP Link Archer VR900.
